Ingrown Eyelash - #5688
For the past week, my left eye has been extremely irritated, and I just discovered it’s because of an ingrown eyelash. It’s small but painful, and my eye feels constantly itchy and watery. How should I deal with an ingrown eyelash without making it worse? I tried using a warm compress to soften the area around the ingrown eyelash, but it hasn’t helped much. Is it safe to try and remove the ingrown eyelash myself, or should I see a professional? I’m worried about infections because my eye has already turned slightly red. Does Ayurveda offer any remedies for an ingrown eyelash? Are there specific herbal treatments or oils that can reduce the irritation and help prevent future occurrences? I also wear contact lenses, so I’m wondering if that might have contributed to this issue. Should I stop wearing them until the ingrown eyelash heals? If anyone has had an ingrown eyelash before, what worked for you? Did it heal on its own, or did you need medical intervention? I’d really appreciate tips on managing the discomfort and preventing this from happening again.
